    You can't run 2 windows with the same thing in - so NO to 2 ncrave windows or 2 tv windows but YES to one ncrave and 1 TV. I've been doing that for ages - though it's better now the TV bar is self running.
    Make £520 a year in 2020 so far (£0 cash £0 AGC)

    Bit late to the party(:o) but I only run one thing from Swagbucks at a time. I do have other sites running whilst I'm doing Swagbucks. I can have as many as 17 tabs open at once :eek: But once I've completed my goal, etc on one site, I close it down and carry on with the rest until I'm done. On a good day it takes about an hour to complete everything, apart from neobux which I do throughout the day. Today is not a good day ;)

    I'd rather just run one thing per site than risk getting kicked out. But each to their own :)

    Uh-oh, I inadvertently opened a can of worms again! Now I remember how wayward this discussion went last time. I thought it was all clarified that we can't do more than 1 watching thing at the same time. This is because it's impossible for a human being to be paying attention if they are trying to view more than one thing at a time- it's common sense really.

    I make around £50 a month, by doing 1 thing at a time and I think that's a pretty decent amount to be making from SB and doesn't take me long (most of the time). I don't know what this SBTV toolbar you refer to is- I refuse to ever install their toolbar ever again, for reasons I've stated previously. I assume that some would not call that a good enough return. But those several hundred pounds per year is extremely valuable to my household and we'd be much worse off if I couldn't earn them, so I choose not to jeopardise my account in any way. I've been earning since 2012, so I assume I'm getting it right. All I ever do is answer 1 or 2 surveys, use some of the apps (usually only 3) and do the daily clicks which for me is down to 1 search win for the last couple of years, 10 from games and the rest of the daily list thing that they have now. That's it. I watch 1 NCrave per day (from the list) usually because I think they're an awful way to earn. SBTV etc on watch now is even worse, since they changed it.

    In-case anyone wants to wade through SB's terms of use:

    SB's wrote a blog post about it here:

    When you get to 97% complete on a survey and it DQ's you.

    One about Vodka. Got to a question about the qualification of chief income earner in household and sent me back to home page :grr:

    I've had two Shop & Earn purchases not go on my ledger :( I know it says to wait 30 days but all my other purchases have shown as pending within 3 days. Really annoying as one of them was to qualify for the 849SB Swagup, and apparently it wouldn't count if it has to be added manually :(

    Make £2020 in 2020 - £263.78/£2020

    Swagbucks - £100 | Prolific Academic - £44.54 | Qmee - £10 | PopulusLive - £50

    Is that because of the time it takes to babysit them, or some other reason?
    You know there are some auto-play ones?
    I'm doing well from the "random" one for 5 SB at the moment, which is repeatable throughout the day.

    I don't think anyone is wishing to argue, just state what they have genuinely experienced over recent years to help users make a choice. :)

    Brainstorming, it occurred to me earlier, perhaps SBs must be seen to request we watch only one thing to satisfy their advertisers? But, if they wanted to enforce it, I'm sure they could fairly easily set up the website to prevent us actually doing this. Who knows?! But, so long as I cash out regularly, I shall continue, as for me it is not viable to do one thing at a time and monitor my pc all day.

    nCrave is definitely an activity our whole household is involved in. I get the kids to click on it whenever they pass by the computer :D

    You can get the SBTV vids to play by putting "toolbartv.swagbucks.com" directly in your browser, you don't need to use their swagbutton app. Lately this will run by itself, with a little bit of nursing (occasionally it gets stuck) you can get 150sb a day.

    I don't know how you get £50 a month with watching one thing at a time, that's impressive.

    I got £85 last month but I have the following running all at same time... each in their own tab...

    SBTV, Watch, Search, Swagosaurus run, Ncrave, Search, vids on Supersonic (if available).

    I have 2 phones, iphone does SBTV app, at same time an android phone does the other 5.


    Does it break their T&C? hmm maybe but I promise you I've been doing this 2 years, no warnings, no problems.

    I think it's only a problem if you give obviously fake info to surveys, try and run 2 of the SAME apps, or use automated clickers etc

    Don't know if it's just me, but nGage has stopped crediting. Going to give it a miss for a while and stick to the other 5SB Ncrave.
